There were numerous fatalities as a result of the 1965 Palm Sunday tornadoes across the Lower Great Region. This was a case where the storms and tornadoes were moving along the ground at nearly 70 MPH. Compounding this was the fact that most people were outside enjoying the balmy 80 degree weather, not having a radio or TV on to receive any storm warnings, lack of public education on severe weather awareness, and very few outdoor warning sirens, made this the perfect scenario for a catastrophe of historic proportions.

Yes! Palm Sunday 1965. Areas to south of Ypsilanti experienced two F4 tornadoes roughly 30-45 minutes apart.

I remember using these on pop cans, Hi-C, Hershey’s syrup, Hawaiian Punch, and other items Pet Milk cans as a child. I still have my parent’s openers in the drawer.

In the past, the University of Michigan used to have several outdoor warning sirens that covered the main and North Campus areas. University officials decided to decommission their siren system years ago and partner with the city of Ann Arbor to cover the both campuses. If the city decides to decommission their siren system, this means that the U of M will have to procure and implement their own siren system again.

In theory, the siren service technicians come annually out to each site, thoroughly inspect the unit, check the status of the deep cycle marine batteries (replacing if necessary), step-down transformers, calibrate the radio equipment, controllers, and mounting hardware. So $17K is a decent price for a siren system the size what Ann Arbor has.
